Referral Requirements

​Please read and agree to the following requirements for referral before filling in the application.

My client has no active warrants which would prevent them from being released if the Massachusetts Bail Fund posts their bail. If my client does have hold/s that would prevent them from being released, I have included an explanation on the form and/or have spoken to a Bail Fund representative about this issue.

I have spoken to my client about potentially receiving assistance from the Massachusetts Bail Fund, and my client gives their permission for me to share their history and case information with the Massachusetts Bail Fund.

*Please note that if your client has an ICE detainer this SHOULD result in their release once bail is posted under the Lunn v. Commonwealth decision which can be found at aclum.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/20170724-Lunn-SJC-opinion.pdf. Please submit a complete referral for any client who is held on an ICE detainer as though there is nothing holding them.

WE HAVE POSTED BAIL AT NASHUA STREET JAIL, BRISTOL COUNTY HOUSE OF CORRECTIONS, BILLERICA HOUSE OF CORRECTION AND WORCESTER HOUSE OF CORRECTIONS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE JAIL WILL CALL ICE AND HOLD THE PERSON IF ICE WANTS THEM.
